Jason, As far as I can tell, that scanner simply isn't supported by SANE at this time. It will show up in a generic USB scan (since it reports a device type of "scanner") but none of the SANE back-ends say that they're aware of this model, and so none will "talk" to it. The "net" backend isn't intended for accessing arbitrary scanners over the net. Rather, it's used so that one host system that has a SANE-supported scanner can "export" that scanner to other hosts on the network via a single (SANE-specific, manufacturer-agnostic) protocol. There was some discussion on the list last year that the M225 might be using the same protocols as some of the Brother multi-function scanner/printer models. It's even possible it's based on a re-badged Brother engine. Unfortunately there's apparently little-to-no support in SANE for any Brother scanners. It may be that there's simply no information publicly available to allow a driver to be written for these. Manufacturers often don't bother to document the protocols; they simply ship a Windows-compatible driver or application, declare victory, and leave for home. :-) >From what I read, the M225 is an all-in-one device which has a built-in "scan to email" capability. In the short term, at least, this is probably your best bet for gaining access to scanning capabilities on Linux. Configure the printer to send scans via email to your address, via your local on-network SMTP server (assuming you have one; if you do not you'll need to install Exim or Courier-MTA or some such SMTP server and mail delivery system), and do the scans that way. Apparently you can configure the scan-to-email via a web server built into the M225. You might even be able to control the individual scans that way (I haven't read the manual to see). -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
[sane-devel] Fuji Xerox M225 dw scanner visible via avahi, sane-find-scanner but not scanimage (Ubuntu 17.04)
Hi, I have a Fuji Xerox DocuPrint M225 dw printer/scanner. It's connected to the same wifi network as my Ubuntu 17.04 system, as well as physically connected via USB. I was unable to get Simple Scan to see it (I get the "No scanners detected" banner), so I did some more debugging. It's visible to avahi: ~ • avahi-browse -a + wlp3s0 IPv4 FX DocuPrint M225 dw Internet Printer local + wlp3s0 IPv4 FX DocuPrint M225 dw _scanner._tcp local + wlp3s0 IPv4 FX DocuPrint M225 dw PDL Printer local + wlp3s0 IPv4 FX DocuPrint M225 dw UNIX Printer local + wlp3s0 IPv4 FX DocuPrint M225 dw Web Site local sane-find-scanner can see the USB but not the network interface: ~ • sudo sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner.
